A Seal Upon Your Heart

Set me as a seal upon your heart;

Close your heart to every love

But mine.

Set me as a seal upon your arms;

Hold no one in your arms

But me.

For love is strong as death;

And passion,

Relentless as the grave.

It bursts into flames, and burns

As the raging fire.

For many waters cannot quench love.

Neither can the floods drown it.

Set me, then, as a seal upon your heart;

Close your heart to every love

But mine.

Set me as a seal upon your arms;

Hold no one in your arms

But me.
